E.O.A. – London Free Press

Controversial Bobnoxious song about east London neighbourhood has its supporters and detractors

A divide apparently only deepened over time still cuts through the centre of London, as psychological as it is physical, so understood that a mere three letters sum it all up for citizens: E.O.A.
